Media control notification appears on reboot / sometimes doesn't disappear even after tapping X

[QuickInfo_]

On Android 11, other music players will completely remove themselves from the media control in notification panel. Only Poweramp, after hitting X, will still be there with just the Play button showing. Is there a way around this or is it a bug? I removed Poweramp data completely and tried again with the same results. It was working fine on my old phone running Android 10. 

I'm on Pixel 5 December's patch. 

Poweramp version: 883-893

 

Below is a screenshot of what I mean. As you can see, the Play button is the only button that lingers around after tapping X. Only way to remove that notificaiton is to force close Poweramp.

The notification should disappear completely, and music stops playing, when you tap the X.

Unfortunately it doesn't do that with Poweramp, it goes into the state as shown in the screenshot. Only happens with Poweramp, I checked Spotify and YouTube music and both disappear completely as soon as I tap X.

@maxmpany possible solution for this bug? Any additional detail I can provide?

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure it's a bug to be honest, but I have started seeing the issue right after updating my Samsung S10 lite to Android 11.

When I boot my smartphone, a Poweramp empty banner appears in notifications (I attach a screenshot to show you). I can only dismiss the notification by swiping it on the side, or tapping it to launch Poweramp. This never happened with Android 10.

Any idea please?

Poweramp version: build-893-arm64-play 64 bit

Merged into existing thread for same issue

I've merged a second user's post into this thread, as another Android 11 user appears to have the exact same problem.

Thank you Andre, although I don't think it's the exact same problem. Similar though, yeah. 👍

I attach a video to show you what it looks like right after rebooting the phone.

Unfortunately not reproducible (Note20@OneUI3.0). Try resetting Poweramp notification options (Settings / Look and feel / Notifications). Also please note that Android 11 is supposed to display last used player there, though Samsung modified that.

On my Pixel 5 Android 11, only Poweramp notification stays after hitting X. I tried playing around with the Notification settings in Poweramp with no luck. Seems to be an issue with Poweramp on Android 11 as it was working fine on Android 10

Hi,

I recently got a new phone and updated to Android 11.

Every time I switch on my phone the Poweramp appears in my notification pull down list and I haven't even loaded it it up to play music.

To remove it from the notification pull down list, I press and hold onto Poweramp and choose remove 

 

Could you advise on how to prevent Poweramp from being loaded up on start up

Hi. that's exactly the issue we're discussing here. No solution nor known cause at the moment.

I'm merging any similar posts into this thread to make it easier to track the issue and see if there's any common trigger (apart from Android 11 anyway).

For me Poweramp build 893 on default settings behaves this way.
Pixel 4XL @ Android 11:

- if X is pressed in notification while Poweramp UI is on foreground
  - playing ends
  - within few seconds notification disappears

- if X is pressed in notification while Poweramp UI is not on foreground
  - playing ends
  - notification disappears immediately

If Poweramp is paused by other means, notification is removed within 5 seconds of idle.

Also Android 11 (Pixel variant) designed to show last used player in the expanded quick settings media area (empty space with just > play button after reboot, or with some metadata if player used once). This is how it's programmed by Google. If not Poweramp, some other last used player will be there.

Please note that Poweramp options:
- Notification Type
- Keep Service
- Keep Notification
may modify this behavior. Disable/Reset those to defaults.

In some rare scenarios, like Android Auto or Wear connected to Poweramp notification may stay longer - until Auto or Wear disconnects from Poweramp.

Unfortunately it didn't help

Unfortunately this doesn't dismiss the notification, it just falls back to another notification with only the play button visible. Normal behavior with other apps that have the X in the notification will dismiss it,. but this doesn't seem to be the case with Poweramp.

I have the same issue, blank Poweramp notification on reboot and also when youtube is playing Poweramp will have a blank notification that i can swipe to. No music was played in Poweramp since reboot, nor the app was launched. 

This started happening since Android 11 update on my s20 plus. 

[andrewilley]

This is a result of an intended functionally by Google in Android 11, along with an implementation issue by Samsung. Apparently newer Samsung ROM updates have already fixed this, whenever they are issued for your device.

Turning off 'Keep Notification' in Poweramp Settings > Look and Feel > Notifications may help, but not necessarily with Samsung ROMs.

Keep notification is already off and I'm on latest possible update for my device, security patch is from March 1st.

Max mentioned making some changes to Android 11 Notifications behaviour in PA build 899 (released for manual download last night), could you give that a try?

Just tested build 899 on my Pixel 5 on Android 11 and pressing X does make the notification go away now. When booting up, there is no blank Poweramp notification which is perfect!

Thanks for the fix @maxmp!

I also want to report that 899 fixed all my issues. Thank you!
